phillwhi, just trying to tame the bot to announve the source for the slides for this presentation20:02
=== ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-classroom to: Welcome to the Ubuntu Classroom - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom || Support in #ubuntu || Upcoming Schedule: http://is.gd/8rtIi || Questions in #ubuntu-classroom-chat || Current Session: Installing a LAMP server - Instructor: phillw - Slides: http://people.ubuntu.com/~nhandler/slides/misc/InstallingALAMPServer.pdf
ClassBotSlides for Installing a LAMP server: http://people.ubuntu.com/~nhandler/slides/misc/InstallingALAMPServer.pdf20:02
phillwHi everyone, firstly my deepest apology for getting the time wrong. This class is for installing LAMP onto a desktop system, I'll give everyone a moment to get the slides20:04
phillwI will be watching #ubuntu-classroom-chat, so if there are any questions, please feel free to ask.20:06
phillw[slide 1] As it says, what we are going to cover20:07
phillw[slide2] The server manual is an excellent resource, the link for it is at the end of this presentation20:08
phillw[slide 3] Doing a search for installing LAMP onto ubuntu will provide many, many different methods for achieving this. This class has come about as a result of people having problems20:10
phillwissuing the command from a terminal will list all the various things that tasksel can do, easily, for you.20:11
phillw[slide 4] Navigating is quite easy20:11
phillw[slide 5] The use of the space bar and the tab key are all important with tasksel20:12
phillwtasksel does come pre-installed20:14
ClassBotzkriesse asked: Does taskel come pre-installed?20:15
phillw[slide 6] Just do as you are told, it is very important not to lose your MySQL master password !!!20:16
phillwThe installation takes about 5 minutes, dependant on the speed of your internet and computer20:17
phillw[slide 7] As we're using a desktop system, installing phpmyadmin is easiest done using Synaptics Package Manager. I've seen occurances where using apt-get has caused problems; So I'd recommend you use Synaptics.20:18
phillw[slide 8] The clicking on details is important, other wise you will not see the questions being asked20:19
phillwAutomatically closing after the changes have been applied is recommended, I haven't done so as I was taking screen shots20:20
phillw[slide 9] Again, you are accepting the defaults.20:21
phillw[slide 10] It makes sense to me to keep the same password for phpmyadmin as for the MySQL system, you can choose a different one if you wish.20:22
ClassBotzkriesse asked: What all is the phpmyadmin for/it's purpose?20:23
phillwphpmyadmin gives a nice GUI method of creating / editing MySQL databases, tables, users and data.20:24
zkriesseOk20:24
phillw[slide 11] the log on screen for phpmyadmin, the user name created will be root (you can create new ones later)20:25
phillw[slide 12] As we only need to confirm that phpmyadmin can see the default databases (on the left), we can now exit it.20:26
phillw[slide 13] in php.ini you store all the information that apache2 will read when you start it up, I'm just going to cover the 10.04 one.20:28
phillwthe file itself is well commented.20:28
dvinchike onda20:28
dvinchide ke es la clase de hoy?20:28
pleia2dvinchi: it's going on right now, please join #ubuntu-classroom-chat to talk :)20:29
phillw[Slide 14] As the default installation is for production use, to be able to see any errors and warnings you need to put the development set of rules on and restart the apache2 server.20:30
phillw[Slide 15] My old bug-bear, magic quotes. I'm glad to say that they are now turned off by default in 10.04. They are going to be gone completely from php at some point in the future, and their use is not recommended.20:32
phillw[slide 16] prior to 10.04, they were on by default. I'd strongly recommend turning them off, as they are going to vanish from php at some point in the future.20:34
phillw[slide 17] This slide contains various links for further reading and to read up on how the LAMP server works (if you are curious) and also introductions to using phpmyadmin and programming with php, writing web-sites etc.20:36
phillwThat concludes the presentation. If you have any questions, please post them in #ubuntu-classroom-chat with the prefix QUESTION:20:38
ClassBotOolonColluphid asked: What is a good resource for post install setup and configuration?20:47
phillwI'd suggest heading over to the server manual in the first instance, the two php.ini versions provided by 10.04 are excellent for swithich between production and development20:48
ClassBotOolonColluphid asked: like how to set up user public_html directories, where to put images, cgi scripts etc.20:48
phillwby default the apache server will point to /var/www you can make sub dierctories in there.20:49
ClassBotThere are are 10 minutes remaining in the current session.20:50
phillwIf you're not too keen on editing the configuration files to change directories, there is a GUI programme called webmin which can do those things for you. http://www.webmin.com/intro.html20:51
ClassBotThere are are 5 minutes remaining in the current session.20:55
ClassBotOolonColluphid asked: is there a good resource for understanding the Apache config files?21:00
=== ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu-classroom to: Welcome to the Ubuntu Classroom - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom || Support in #ubuntu || Upcoming Schedule: http://is.gd/8rtIi
phillwfor further details on configuring up apache2, head over to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/21:07
